Writing: Adapting Fairy Tales and Folk Tales

Read some of the classic versions of the same fairy tales from around the world in order to write their own adaptations to some of their favorite tales. There will be a focus on rehearsing and planning for stories, paying careful attention to fairy tale language and structure through revising and elaborating, and crafting their own versions of an old tale, and adapt it to actual social issues, and create a video performance.
